Mr. Planche's

"A comprehensive and highly valuable book of reference. rarely failed to find in this book an account of an article of dress, while in most of the entries curious and instructive details are given. enormous labour of love, the production of a text which, whether in its dictionary form or in that of the General History,' is within its intended scope immeasurably the best and richest work on Costume in English. This book is not only one of the most readable works of the kind, but intrinsically attractive and amusing."-ATHENÆUM.

·

"A most readable and interesting work-and it can scarcely be consulted in vain, whether the reader is in search for information as to military, court, ecclesiastical, legal, or professional costume. All the chromo-lithographs, and most of the woodcut illustrations-the latter amounting to several thousands -are very elaborately executed; and the work forms a livre de luxe which renders it equally suited to the library and the ladies' drawing-room."-TIMES.
